A TANGENTIAL RELEASE…….
There is this guy…..who is still in his med school….and consults me for his medical problems pertaining to my specialty……..
He has a habit of asking a few queries everytime he meets me……and honestly has half-baked knowledge of the subject……..And consequently, the questions he comes out with are so very funny…..that it makes you think that he is utterly stupid……
Today….something similar happened….and while he asked me something…..I smiled to myself….and thought that he has to be really foolish to ask me that query…..
Also……it reminded me of my days in med school…..and when I used to go to some specialist consultant……even I used to ask similar questions and make a total fool of myself…….(must have provided some good amusement material to these consultants)…and I am sure my other med school friends were just the same…….
But then…..am I a joker to other elder, more experienced people around me???....will they be laughing at my expense???....
I really do not know…..but things change over a period of time……and the way you look at things change as well…..
Again….If you take the example of the same med student…….there is a palpable enthusiasm…….similar to the way I had…..there seems to be a constant urge to learn new things…….which is missing in me now………I am still peppy……but not the way I used to be at his age…..and when I see some senior people…..the way they are doing their work…….with a constant dull, boring expression…….I shedder to think……if that’s what is going to be of me when I grow up???
I see my reflection in him…..and now it’s my turn to be on the other side of the table…..
It’s amazing how we change over a period of time……
And we mould ourselves in the existing available moulds………
Everything seems to going in a full circle……Does everyone’s life go around the same circle more or less……or I can have a tangential release??? Really hard to say……..
